T-P: Saints Trading Jimmy Graham to Seattle

In what feels like a surprise move (at least, to me) the Times-Picayune in New Orleans http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2015/03/new_orleans_saints_open_to_sho.html">is reporting that multiple sources have given word that the New Orleans Saints are trading Pro Bowl Tight End Jimmy Graham to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Saints will receive 28-year-old center Max Unger and Seattle's first round pick, while the Seahawks will receive Graham and the Saints' fourth round pick.

This (apparent) trade comes one year after protracted negotiations resulted in a 4-year, $40 million contract last year. Graham joins veterans Pierre Thomas and Curtis Loftin as locker-room casualties as free agency deadlines loom.
